Step II-III: Opioids - Principles of Opioid Treatment
Session Overview

By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Discuss the initiation of opioid therapy
- List the principles of dose titration
- Explain the principles of analgesic failure
Prerequisites
Before commencing this session you should:
- Module 07c/Systematic Pharmacology/Analgesics/ Opioid drugs: general properties and mechanisms of action (001-0776)
- Module 07c/Systematic Pharmacology/Analgesics/Morphine and other opioids (001-0777)

- Module 05a/Pharmacology Treatments/Step II-III: Commonly available opioids (001-0512)
One of the major reasons for inadequate pain control is the clinicians’ fear of the many well recognized side effects of opioids, namely:
- Sedation
- Respiratory depression
- Addiction
This session aims to:
- Describe the principles of opioid therapy
- Explain how to control adverse effects of opioid therapies
The key to a successful opioid pain treatment is achieving adequate analgesia while avoiding side effects.
